I guess I am mininterpretting NFHS Rule 5-1-2. It states as follows:
A new series of downs is awarded as follows:
After a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down and any dead ball foul.
After a 4th down, a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down, other than a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike.
In the situation I posted above, it was 1/10. Team A obtained the line-to-gain during the play but commited a dead-ball personal foul. We should consider that act before awarding a new set of downs, right? Or am I misinterpreting this somehow? Help and comments are always appreciated.

I agree with your interpretation Mike. I think rule 5-1-2 certainly applies to this play but I'm only a "youth" official so what do I know. You may want to wait on the official and final response from Mr Neil, KWH, and others.
